WoO did a nice scheduling job for the fans by putting I-96 Speedway and Kokomo back-to-back again. I'll be able to hit them both and am looking forward to it. Kokomo has a dynamite schedule next year.

Mike: What happened to Hartford?

Talking with one of my buds who raced a modified there weekly last year, rumor has it Hartford is not running weekly in 2013 unless a miracle drops into someone's lap (selling of the track or a lot of $$$). They are going to run 7-8-9 special shows only. One Lucas Oil Late Model race is scheduled for May on the Lucas Oil website (www.lucasdirt.com). Also heard a couple of SOD shows might go down.

The owner is having a battle with his health, and myself and everyone else wishes and hopes for the best for him. That obviously is the top priority for he and his family.

Perhaps Rob the announcer can elaborate on this (2013) more as time goes by.

But what I know is above and that is just word of mouth from others.
